"I'm glad you told me. After my late husband's recent disappearance

At sea, reports of drowning left me as a widow, with some clearance,

To look for love again, but I had never once anticipated

That someone so much younger could have aspirations, which are fated

To save you from a second gulping, making you my tiny lover.
Your youthful admiration has been very charming to discover."

They lived up there for several months. The boy's new life was fully centred

Around the lovely older woman, who had made him so contented.

BERRIED OR CREAM-MATED

A boy discovered a gigantic field
Of fruit, which was all too big to be peeled.
He then found a berry as large as his head,
And ate it, and then he felt properly fed.

He lay down upon the large grass there and slept,
Until in his dreams, he soon found that he kept
On hearing the voice of a lady persisting:
“Please wake up, small boy. I do hope you are listening.”

He opened his eyes and then saw that there knelt
A very large woman, where giant folks dwelt.
He watched her large mouth as she then went on speaking:
“I am a large giant, and here’s what I’m seeking:

One of my tastiest berries is missing.”
He wished he was her size, so she’d think of kissing
Himself. But he asked, “Was that nice berry yours?
I guess that you must have been somewhere indoors,

When I found the berry and needed a meal.
Forgive me, since I’d not intended to steal.”
“That’s alright, small boy. I don’t mind in the least.
I’ll take you inside and soon give you a feast.

You’re ever so thin, that your tummy must yearn
For food. One day soon you’ll help me in return.”
“I’d love to repay you,” he said, as she gathered
Him up in her fingers, and soon after lathered

Whipped cream on dessert for the boy to consume,
On top of the table in her dining room.
She kept him for days, and he liked being near her,
Until came the day, when she showed him a mirror,

And licked her sweet lips as she shock made him jump:
“Yes, little young boy, you’re becoming quite plump.”
“I liked being skinny. I cannot deny it.
So somehow I’ll need to go onto a diet.”

“But surely you know why I’ve increased your weight.
Tonight I’ll be placing you onto a plate,
With all the delicious meat that you now are.
Today I shall eat you all up. Ha ha ha!

I know you are thinking that I did neglect
To warn you of this; but what do you expect?
On first meeting, you were as thin as a bean.
If you knew I’d eat you, you would have stayed lean.

There’s always a price for a meal that seems free.
Today you shall be a nice lunch all for me.”
“But then I shall never grow up. I’ll miss out
On all of the best happiness!” he did shout,

“If I’m in your stomach, it will be a pity
That I cannot love a sweet lady as pretty
As you, of my own, that I’d grow up to meet.”
“But small boy, you’re going to be food I’ll soon eat.

You’ve had food which once was my own, my possession.
It’s now part of you. So it is my impression,
That once you’ve been swallowed, you’ll have many years
Inside me, to try to forget all your fears.”
